Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 3 3, Dutch's Mind Brandy

Dach agreed to Dai Pingan's deal, and Mika finally handed over the gold, all of it.

Of course, it wasn't that Micah suddenly showed mercy and wanted to contribute to the gang's wealth, but that after Hosea dragged the gold up through the handkerchief and weighed it, he came to a conclusion:
It was a fine piece of gold, a waste on the black market, that could fetch $700 or more if given to Josiah Trelawney to exchange it in a big bank.

After handing in the gold, Micah's face turned darker, and he said that he was tired and wanted to find a place to rest.The toss he had made earlier attracted the attention of the rest of the camp.Bill Williamson began to introduce the process of discovering this piece of gold to everyone with added details. He and Javier followed Micah just now.Listening to Bill's schadenfreude, Micah walked faster.

After careful cleaning, this piece of gold returned to everyone.

What a fine piece of gold, twenty centimeters long and five centimeters thick, the cross-section is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the wide part is ten centimeters, and the narrow side is at least seven or eight centimeters. A big golden brick that can't be held in one hand!

Although there is still a faint smell, this does not affect the people in the camp to come up and want to take a second look.Seeing this situation, Dutch held the gold brick in both hands, and started a new speech on the bright future of the Van der Lin Gang.

I have to say that Dutch Van der Lin who can be the boss does have two brushes.With rich and vivid language descriptions, powerful body movements, and a happy future prospect, coupled with that heavy, golden brick, Dai Pingan, who was listening from a distance, couldn't help but believe it.

The speech was very successful, and finally when Dach handed over the gold to the people around him and asked them to hold and enjoy it one by one, the atmosphere of the whole audience reached its climax.

It's not that the dozens of people in the gang have never seen money, but few people can resist the shock brought by such a large and good-looking big gold brick in front of their eyes.They stroked, talked, talked and laughed, especially when they touched the row of deep tooth marks on the gold brick, their laughter became louder.

I don't know if Micah rinsed his mouth afterwards.

It's been a long time since everyone is so happy.Looking at the joyful crowd, Daqi was also smiling, very happy, but there was no smile in his eyes.Everyone in the gang was attracted by this piece of gold, even Sadie Adler, who had been depressed after losing her husband, was attracted by the lively atmosphere and couldn't help coming over.

Except for one person.

This piece of gold was discovered by Dai Pingan before, and it could even be said that this piece of gold belonged to Dai Pingan.Seeing his gold being taken away and played with, the owner of the gold didn't show any distress, instead he was quietly drinking on the sidelines, this indifference made Dach feel deeply uneasy.

What's more serious is what Dai Ping'an said, he actually knows so many secrets here.Dach never believed in the so-called fate and bullshit divination, but he didn't know much about Arthur and Hosea. How did Dai Pingan know such details?
Dutch trusted Arthur and Hosea as much as he believed in himself, and even if the whole gang turned their backs on him, these two would not leave him.But the more he believed in this side in his heart, the more he was full of doubts about Dai Pingan's performance.

How on earth did that person do it?
It was a question he couldn't figure out.

This kind of anxiety and doubt stimulated Dach, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He didn't like this feeling. He wanted to torture that person, kill that person, or even simply get rid of that person and stay away.

But he couldn't.

He couldn't figure out that person, didn't know what that person knew or didn't know, let alone what that person would say, and more importantly, he wasn't sure how to pry the money out of that person's mouth in advance .He needs the gold in that man's mouth, he needs that money, the gang needs that money!

Since the failed robbery in Blackwater Town, the situation of Van der Lin's gang has not been optimistic.Although with the efforts of him, Arthur, Hosea, and the butler Susan, everyone still maintained their due morale, but everyone knew the real situation, and no one was a fool.

If the gang was doing well, would they have taken such a risk to rob a Cornish train?If everything is normal, do they need to suddenly change their traditions and put out usury loans that no one can repay?Don't forget, the Van der Lin gang started out by robbing the rich and giving to the poor, not those bank capitalists who specialize in sucking blood.

The bonds snatched from Cornwall have not yet been sold, forcing him to let Leopold Strauss start collecting usury early.It's only been a few days since the money was released. How many people can pay such a high interest in such a short period of time?This is an excuse to rob!
Arthur was very disgusted with this kind of thing, but for the sake of the gang, he went anyway.Every time he came back from collecting money, Arthur's face was very ugly. It's not that he didn't see it, but he couldn't help it!

At this time, Dai Pingan appeared, and the news of gold appeared.

If the news is true, if gold really exists, then the hidden problems in the Van der Lin gang will no longer exist, and all troubles will be solved.

Is there really such a coincidence?
Dach doesn't believe it, he believes the news is true, gold may really exist, but he doesn't believe Dai Ping'an's purpose, the $5000 gold is only for a place to recuperate?Dach didn't believe it at all.

There must be some calculation here.

But who would spend such a lot of blood to plot against him?
Detective Pinkerton?O'Driscot gang?They don't have the money, Leviticus Cornish?He has the money, but he doesn't need it.Who could it be?
This is another question that Dach doesn't understand.

Dai Ping'an was still drinking in the distance.He was leaning against a carriage, not in a hurry, drinking the wine in his hand one mouthful at a time.Pale gauze wrapped the wounds all over his body, the sun in the sky approached the west, his whole body was undulating and floating in the shadow of the carriage like a white ghost...

Before night fell, Dach finally arranged everything for Dai Pingan.He found a comfortable place for Dai Pingan by the bonfire in the camp, and told everyone not to disturb Mr. Dai Pingan's rest except those who took care of him.In the end, he even kindly asked Lanny to make a special trip to Valentine to bring back a box of high-end Carrington brandy for Dai Pingan, and put it beside his bed.

Dai Ping'an is really good at drinking.All kinds of foreign wine are like white water, poured down one mouthful at a time, looking for something to eat when drunk, and continuing to drink when sober.The uncle on the side looked envious and distressed, which was uncomfortable.It was strange to say that after such a lot of eating and drinking, Dai Ping'an's body actually looked better, and his sallow face was a little more bloody.

At the same time, to show his sincerity, Dai Pingan also told Daqi where the gold was hidden, but the gold could not be found in a short while.

One is the location of the gold. This time the buried place is a bit far away, located in the north of Valentine. Hosea said that there are high mountains and dangerous roads, and fast rivers. To be on the safe side, it is best to have someone lead the way;
The second is that Josiah Trelawney, who was in charge of scouting for news, brought back an urgent letter: Their companion, Sean McGwell, who was arrested in Blackwater Town before, will be transferred to the federal prison in the next few days go to jail.The federal prison is heavily guarded. If you don't seize the opportunity of this escort to rescue, you will really have no chance in the future.

So Daqi arranged for Pastor Swanson to take care of Dai Ping'an's body, and at the same time asked Arthur, Micah, Javier and other gang leaders to rest early, recharge their batteries, and do a good job of rescuing Sean in the next few days Prepare.

After dinner, the people who had worked hard all day soon fell asleep one by one. As the lanterns in the tents went out one after another, the whole camp was gradually shrouded in silence, only the faint snoring and crackling in the campfire remained. loud wood.

It was cold in spring, not to mention the night, and the heavy blanket on my body could not block the chill. Fortunately, my position was relatively close to the bonfire.Just like that, Dai Ping'an fumbled for the one-cent coin while roasting the fire, and recalled his performance today in his mind.

Is today's drama a little over?
That's right, it was a play, a play that he had planned and prepared for since the moment he realized the environment he was in.In this scene, he is both a director and an actor, a director who needs to consider the heart of every audience, and an actor who needs to guide every audience to follow in his footsteps.Every night before that, Dai Ping'an would carefully ponder over the script of the play before going to bed, constantly modifying and scrutinizing, accurate to every action, every sentence, and even every detail.But when the curtain of this comedy really opened, he knew that he was going to fail.

This is no longer a game, and they are no longer simple NPCs, but real people.

When the whip whipped him, he held back, and when the wolf bit him, he stood up, but when he faced Micah's ferocious face, and the other party's stinky saliva splashed on his face, he couldn't help it. Dazed, the kind with a blank mind.

If it wasn't for his good nose, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, and most importantly, if it wasn't for the pissing he committed before!I believe he will have been squeezed out of the last bit of value by Dutch, Micah, and Arthur.

This is not a friendly adventure team, but a criminal gang composed of gangsters, murderers, thieves and liars.With the exception of Jack Marston's five-year-old boy, everyone in the camp had a murder, just more or less.

The leader of the gang, Dutch Van der Linn, is a natural criminal genius and ruthless anti-governmentist. After being dealt a serious blow by Detective Dunton, the rest of the people are still loyal to him and are willing to flee thousands of miles away with him and make a comeback.

The second in command, Hosea Matthews, is the oldest person in the camp, but also the most experienced old thief. On the surface, he is kind and kind, but in his bones, he is good at calculating and cunning.

Gang force, Arthur Morgan, who is loyal to Dutch, has no weapons he can't use, and there is no one he can't kill. Even Micah, who kills without blinking an eye, has to pretend to be careful in front of him.

Javier Iscola, a Mexican gangster who ran around; Javier Williamson, a violent villain who was kicked out of the army because of murder; and Lenny Summers, a black kid who started killing at the age of 15...

The reason why these bandits with blood on their hands could stay in this camp and have a quiet dinner was never because of the Lord’s inspiration. After all, representing the believers of God, Pastor Swanson might be hiding in In which dark corner is it fun to get injections for yourself?

At this time, Dai Ping'an was just a sheep that got mixed up with the wolves. If someone saw his hole card clearly, then with the wine he drank in his stomach tonight, he could save the cumin that would be sprinkled on his body tomorrow.

What kind of situation it was, he couldn't think of it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

The bonfire was flickering, and Dai Pingan was motionless on the bed, as if he had finally fallen asleep.Looking around, I found that everyone was asleep, and a black figure quietly got up from the bed.He was very familiar with the environment here, and he easily avoided the obstacles on the ground, and quickly touched Dai Ping'an's bedside.

He stopped to observe for a while, and seeing that Dai Ping'an was indeed silent, he slowly stretched out his hand and touched Dai Ping'an——

—the case of brandy beside me.

　Not a good day today, that's all.
